Don passed with his family at 7pm today after a battle with cancer.  Please keep his family in your thoughts and/or prayers (as is appropriate to your beliefs).

 

While Don is gone, he gave us images that will last for eternity.

Our dear friend Don Parker requested that donations be made to the Association of Lunar & Planetary Observers (A.L.P.O.) in lieu of flowers.  After inquiring as to where to make donations the ALPO secretary responded with:
 
“Currently, we have the ALPO Endowment Fund which is dedicated to the eventual formation of a brick and mortar home for the ALPO, to manage its archival observations and data, serve as a research library, and possibly as an educational venue as well.  I invite you to check out information about our plans on the ALPO website at this URL:

In the meantime, if you wish to donate in the future, you can donate online at this URL:

Or you can simply send a check to the address at the end of my email, pay to order of, "ALPO".”
